Medal Of Honor 2010

by **GTFO. Luckyg** » 02 Dec 2009, 18:30

Electronic Arts officially announced its promise reboot of the Medal of Honor franchise today, revealing that the long-running series is finally leaving World War II behind.

Instead, the new title--simply referred to as Medal of Honor--will take players to "war-torn Afghanistan," with Electronic Arts promising a "best-in-class single-player campaign" inspired by "real events" and crafted with the help of the US Special Operations Community's Tier 1 Operators "to create the most authentic modern war experience."

Medal of Honor will hit PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010, with EA Los Angeles handling the single-player and the Battlefield veterans at EA DICE on multiplayer.

"EA has always been an advocate for telling the soldiers' story. The new Medal of Honor follows that tradition. We felt it was important to tell the story of today's war and today's elite soldiers via today's most relevant medium--videogames," said Sean Decker, VP and General Manager of EALA. "We are so proud to bring together two powerhouse development teams to make this game a reality; EA Los Angeles and EA DICE. Medal of Honor promises to be an unforgettable entry in the modern shooter genre."

And now for the boxart!....

Oh and this is no joke, this is genuinely coming next year

Yep, if DICE are working on it, I think dedicated servers will be a given

Btw, this = my 1000th post!

more stuff

As for the setting and storyline of the new entry, here's what EA had to say:

Medal of Honor, an all-new first-person shooter game, will introduce the Tier 1 Operator: a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle. The development team has been working closely with Tier 1 Operators from the US Special Operations Community since the earliest stages of development to create the most authentic modern war experience. Inspired by real events, Medal of Honor reveals the mission of today's most elite soldier - his will, his mindset and his uncompromising professionalism.

More details on Medal of Honor are expected to arrive December 12, when the "world-premier first-look" airs during the Spike TV 2009 Video Game Awards.

It's possible!

They've had those games to look at and rip all the good things out/ignore all the shit and make an epic game. I'll be disappointed if this is shit.

Gonna have a look around to see where I can get a beta key, I don't really want to pre-order it so soon when the beta could be crap and then some places refuse to let you cancel your pre-order

by **GTFO. NachoDuck** » 15 Jun 2010, 12:49

pre order is the only way i think?

The Beta is available when you pre-order Medal of Honor. Beta Redemption Keys are available at participating retailers as a reward for pre-ordering Medal of Honor. Once you have a Beta Redemption Key, just go to http://www.medalofhonor.com/beta to redeem it for a code for the platform of your choice.

Wow, that looks really good apart from the air support seems to be too fast and just be easy kills.

by **GTFO. fission_chips** » 17 Jun 2010, 12:08

some new patch information,

*Multiple CTDs have been fixed, they are currently our top priority at the moment.
*Freezing on certain ATI cards and Nvidia cards have been resolved as well.
*85% of all the physical glitches have been fixed. (The reason this was happening was due to a very outdated vertex mapping system and physics system that was stable but is now of gone and updated)
*Recoil and Deviation added to half of all guns. M4, AKS74U, M249-SAW, PKM, Rocket Launchers, Pistols, SVD, and a few others.
*Tweaks to server browser, more accurate results and more stability
*Esc option now functional while in kit selection menu in game
*Pressing Y to bring up the chat window no longer freezes your player and screen.
*Minor buffs to explosives(M203, GP-25, C4, IEDs)
*Kill Streak Perks now shows a proper keyboard key for the abilities
*Multiple back end server support and stability fixes for a smoother game. (Multi map / game mode loading servers are coming)
*PB Support is being worked on. No ETA yet
*Loading screens have been optimized and addressed
*Sound effects for ribbons and kill streaks are now higher quality. (No more static booms)
*Surround Sound improvements
*Friends list is being improved
*Miscellaneous text fixes in the main menu and in other places
*Spawn text color is being looked at and improved
*Some new animations added and tweaked
*Tomahawk missile more sensitive
*UAV movement adjusted.
*Alignment with combat scopes and iron sights for SVD(low priority)
*Melee attack slightly adjusted
*Spectator Camera (I have seen the button but I don't think it has been implemented yet)
*VOIP on the way (Not sure if its going to make it into the beta though)

Note that some of these can change due to QA testing.

Current ETA for the patch is very soon, certification is going through with Microsoft and Sony in 7-14 days time, PC right next to it.

I still think I'm going to get my money back on this, it's got nothing on BC2 and I know it's still in Beta, but I just doesn't feel right.

by **GTFO. fission_chips** » 22 Jun 2010, 10:59

So far so good, enjoying it, although too many snipers on the Helmand map, makes life difficult for my rambo style of play. Haven't had a go since the updates lucky posted, but they sound good.

by **GTFO. Digital** » 22 Jun 2010, 11:21

Yeah, damn snipers :mrgreen:

by **Pulse** » 22 Jun 2010, 14:49

I can hook up 5 people with 1 beta access code each. send me a message and I'll get it to you.

by **GTFO. Digital** » 22 Jun 2010, 15:02

Lucky did you get that list from the steam forums? i saw a topic there and asked someone from DICE. (exec producer)
This was the reply:

That person is not a DICE employee and that list is fake.
